Assembly Processes covers manual assembly as well as automation, and explores the varied options available for assembly processes and emphasizes the importance of proper selection.

Features:

• Explores the factors that influence the assembly process decisions.
• Discusses the application of automation to the assembly process.
• Examines the effectiveness and efficiency of the worker-machine combination.
• Discusses the basic sub-assemblies commonly used within deliverable electronic units and the assembly processing associated with each.
• Describes how sub-assemblies are grouped together to form new assemblies which are in turn the building blocks for larger assemblies, and the integration of these assemblies to form the final system.
